1 Samuel 17:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 17
6 E sobre suas pernas trazia caneleiras de ferro, e escudo de bronze a seus ombros.
7 A haste de sua lança era como um lançador de tear, e tinha o ferro de sua lança seiscentos siclos de ferro: e ia seu escudeiro diante dele.
8 E parou-se, e deu vozes aos esquadrões de Israel, dizendo-lhes: Para que saís a dar batalha? não sou eu o filisteu, e vós os servos de Saul? Escolhei dentre vós um homem que venha contra mim:
9 Se ele puder lutar comigo, e me vencer, nós seremos vossos servos: e se eu puder mais que ele, e o vencer, vós sereis nossos servos e nos servireis.
10 E acrescentou o filisteu: Hoje eu desafiei o acampamento de Israel; dá-me um homem que lute comigo.
